Yes, it is possible to create a table from a report. You'd use SRW.DO_SQL built-in (check Report Online Help system for more information).

However, this might not be the best idea (creating tables around). Why do you think you should do that? You said that you'd create a new table, which would contain certain columns from two existing tables. If that's the case, perhaps you could use a view instead.

If you need to do inserts or updates, then consider using a global temporary table or even an "ordinary" table that'd be deleted - inserted - updated.

Just try to avoid creating tables in runtime. Oracle *usually* doesn't need that.

Wrong approach, I'd say.

Two large tables that are supposed to be "shrunk" into a smaller one is useless because you'd still have to process "large amount of data" (i.e. select from those tables and insert into a new one). Report would have to
1) fill a new table
2) fetch data from a new table
Why? Why wouldn't you rather use INSERT INTO NEW_TABLE code in report's query and directly create report output?

In my opinion, you shouldn't do that.
